If you are going to do Smolov then I wouldn't even think about trying to lose BF.It could happen from simply increasing muscle mass but I wouldn't make it a main goal.
I agree.Its very hard, not impossible to get hulk strength which I'm sure you want to and lose body fat. Some will tell you you need to be in a caloric surplus for the strength gains you want. Unfortunately that comes with a price.I say, run your cycle, then worry about losing some afterwards.This is not to say you can eat whatever you want whenever you want. Keep it as clean as possible.
